In addition to German and English, Sabine speaks French and Italian. She is proficient in basic tactical pistol skills, because she thought it would be a fun thing to learn.

And — also like the InstaWife — a pilot.

UPDATE: Since various people emailed to ask, no the InstaWife hasn’t flown for years, and now that she’s got the ICD she’s not allowed to. She started college in Air Force ROTC as an aerospace engineering major, but switched out when they wanted to make her a navigator instead of a pilot. This was a wise decision, I think, judging by the navigational skills she displays on family trips. That Chinese embassy bombing fiasco may have its roots in similar decisions . . . .
